[00:20.52]Raise me straight and raise me true
[00:24.49]Spent my days becoming you
[00:28.59]Sunday morning, evening too
[00:32.62]Sitting in your second pew
[00:40.88]Torn apart, my spirits spent
[00:44.60]I fell in love on accident
[00:48.95]Wondered just what Jesus meant
[00:52.68]When he said all love was Heaven sent
[00:57.82]
[01:01.15]Papa I don't need a preacher
[01:04.40]I ain't some kind of creature from some old double feature
[01:09.99]I just want to make you proud of the kind of love I've found
[01:14.88]But you say it ain’t allowed
[01:17.75]Say that its a sin
[01:19.37]But it's how I've always been
[01:21.57]Did you love me when, he was just my friend?
[01:28.71]
[01:47.70]Tried my hardest not to be
[01:51.75]I locked the door and I broke the key
[01:55.80]Jesus died upon that tree
[01:59.60]Daddy do you think he'd cover me
[02:08.10]Red and yellow black and white
[02:12.35]We are precious in His sight
[02:16.20]So why can't I sleep through the night?
[02:20.00]Daddy do you think I've turned out right?
[02:24.85]
[02:28.55]Papa, I don't need a preacher
[02:31.56]I ain't some kind of creature from some old double-feature
[02:37.50]I just wanna make you proud of the kind of love I've found
[02:42.25]Well you say it ain’t allowed
[02:44.65]You say that it's a sin
[02:46.61]But it's how I've always been.
[02:48.75]Did you love me when, he was just my friend?
[02:56.68]
[03:15.15]Papa, you're the one that taught me
[03:18.55]By His stripes He sought me, and with His blood He bought me
[03:24.20]Daddy, you're the one that claimed that He'd love me through the flame
[03:29.48]Now, can't you do the same?
[03:32.25]I've been born again
[03:34.35]But I first was born in sin
[03:36.50]Did you love me then?
[03:41.00]Did you love me then?
